Problem 1
f(x) = x + 1/x
f(1) = 1 + 1/1
f(1) = 1 + 1
f(1) = 2
Answer: 2
============================================
Problem 2
(f o f)(1) = f( f(1) )
(f o f)(1) = f( 2 )
(f o f)(1) = 2 + 1/2
(f o f)(1) = 4/2 + 1/2
(f o f)(1) = 5/2
Answer: 5/2
============================================
Problem 3
(f o f o f)(1) = f( f(f(1)) )
(f o f o f)(1) = f( (f o f)(1) )
(f o f o f)(1) = f( 5/2 )
(f o f o f)(1) = 5/2 + 1/(5/2)
(f o f o f)(1) = 5/2 + 2/5
(f o f o f)(1) = 25/10 + 4/10
(f o f o f)(1) = 29/10
Answer: 29/10
============================================
Problem 4
(f o f o f o f)(1) = f( f(f(f(1)) )
(f o f o f o f)(1) = f( (f o f o f)(1) )
(f o f o f o f)(1) = f( 29/10 )
(f o f o f o f)(1) = 29/10 + 1/(29/10)
(f o f o f o f)(1) = 29/10 + 10/29
(f o f o f o f)(1) = 841/290 + 100/290
(f o f o f o f)(1) = 941/290
Answer: 941/290
============================================
Problem 5
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = f( f(f(f(f(1)))) )
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = f( (f o f o f o f)(1) )
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = f( 941/290 )
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 941/290 + 1/(941/290)
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 941/290 + 290/941
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 885481/272890 + 84100/272890
(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 969581/272890
Answer: 969581/272890
